Funny. My favorite is number 13. "I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets. It seems to me they are wonderful things for other people to go on." Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteHaha! And when I was a Captain's wife, I sure would have selected women like that if I could! Most were young, gorgeous and I would make sure they all knew I was insanely jealous! Haha!!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. I especially liked the smoking one!

ReplyDeleteThese are cool. I love #6 & #7. Except they don't really serve you the food anymore!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to dislike airplanes♥
Flying in airplanes is definitely not glamorous. It used to be. I remember my former wife dressing up to take a plane. She always managed to get some guy to buy her a drink. Maybe I should have seen the handwriting on the wall then: that she would not be in my life long.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is a Canadian thing. Canadians used to dress in their best clothes to go to a hockey game.
Flying is definitely funny. I could not help but laugh the first time I heard a stewardess say seriously that we were sitting on a floation device we could use if the plane ditched in the North Atlantic. I knew you wouldn't last 15 minutes in the cold water even with a cushion from the plane.
If there are not volcanic clouds, I will be flying to Belgium May 11. My ladyfriend said we are going somewhere so as an alternative we may end up in Barbados.
